There is no denying that a country’s success can be estimated through how the education sector works. After analyzing the education system, you will come to know about the pivotal point of that country’s success.

How Education Transformed Japan’s Economic and Cultural Growth:

Here we can take the example of Japan, which is at the top of the best economies in the world due to the theiitscation sector. As of February 2024, Japan’s GDP (gross domestic product) ranks 4th globally, higher than the U.S., China, and Germany. Whereas, Japan’s education system ranking for 2024 is in seventh place after the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, France, and Switzerland.

After the atomic attacks on Japanese cities, the country underwent multiple crises. However, the most dominant and prominent thing about Japan’s people is that they didn’t give up! After this, they decided to build their country again and rule the world.

So, the very first thing they did after that was “Teaching”. Japan focused on its entertainment industry, started building technological gadgets, and promoted animes or mangas. As a result, it received global recognition and its GDP kept improving.

And now Japan is the most powerful country in every perspective. The visa for Japan is the World’s most powerful visa and you can visit 190 countries with it. Japan is at the top in marketing and production. This all is the consequence of their timely strategy to deal with multiple crises and showing allegiance to the superpower while receiving aid for improving their country’s status.

The mere thing that can build our nation is “pedagogy” which was the best realization the Japanese government ever had. The literacy rate in Japan is 100%. Here the question arises of when education became compulsory in Japan. In 1907 learning became compulsory in Japan.

Importance of Education in Religions:

Even in religions, education has a significant role. Whether it’s Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Islam, Hinduism, or many others, all stress the importance of education. In Islam, the first verse of its holy book states: “Read by the name of Allah who created you” in other words “Education“.

Regarding the domain of Islam, the very close companion of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) Hazrat Ali (R.a) said that the person who teaches me even a single word is my teacher.

So, we can imagine the worth of Education. It is a part and parcel thing in every religion, especially in Islam. Likewise, other religions also preach through educating others, hence, one can undervalue its connotation

Are Politicians Thwarting Education:

Education is bigotry, a means of propagating narratives and ordering some nations. However, with the rise of digital media and common knowledge through social media, people are becoming aware of world affairs. Yet the politicians and government use knowledge as a form of manipulation, particularly in developing countries.

In developing countries, the literacy rate is quite low (below 50%). Therefore, the developing countries don’t grow financially as the developed countries. If they start focusing on their education and unraveling strategies to boost their GDP, such countries can grow exponentially as well.

Germany, A Land Of Free Education:

If we look ahead in Germany, education is free and that’s a very pulsating thing. For example, if someone wants to study but cannot pay it is an uphill battle for such a person to continue their studies.

Because now he is compelled to leave his studies. Germany is just overcoming this problem and succeeding day by day. Henceforth, their country is leading in every phase of life and every profession. Whether it’s sports or media, doctors or engineers, German people exceed others. This is all possible due to education.

There is a witty Iraq quotation that says “In the book, market books are left open in the street at night just because people of Iraq say, the reader never steals and the thief never reads” such an impeccable line.

Is Germany Education Superior to America?

Too many people believe that America is providing a more stellar education system than any other state or country of the world.

It’s a dream of a plethora of students all over the world to get an education in the United States of America and they burn the midnight oil to get admission to the top-ranked universities of America so that they can move one step ahead and influence this world in a pretty exceeding way than any other students of the different universities.

But here the integral part is that Germany is providing better and free education than the USA which helps students to complete their dream of education.

Most students choose the USA to study just because it’s a world power country and ruling the world but the fact is that no one knows that in education it does not matter.

You should choose the country which is proving education cheaper and superior, which is the most focal point.

The German students learn many of the same basics as the students of the USA but their education paths split earlier than the students in the US.

Conclusion:

Education provides extensive and valuable knowledge about the globe around us and its multiple facets to elevate our comprehension of the world better. Education is vital for individual and collective growth. One can’t prosper without educating themselves. Hence, multiple countries focus on skill-building and educating them to grow exponentially.

Also, education gives you the right to ponder on any particular thing and decide about it according to your interests. Lastly, it gives us the knowledge to live better, the sense to recognize ourselves, the purpose of our lives, why God sent us to this world, and what we should do in our lives.

In all domains of life, it gives you a special sense to iron out all the matters of life in a very decent way and makes you a paragon. The day when education will be ubiquitous and accessible to every civilian of the country or the world will be a day of great success and pyrrhic for humanity and humans will start living together without any grudge.
